In plain words

Archivy is a self-hosted knowledge base system designed for users who want to organize and store information locally. It offers extensibility through plugins and customization options, allowing individuals and teams to build a personalized repository for documents, notes, and research. The software runs on users' own servers rather than relying on cloud services, giving them full control over their data and how it is structured.

    My personal knowledge base is hosted on GitHub at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;raphaelsty.github.io&#x2F;knowledge&#x2F;. It scans the documents I like every day using GitHub Action, Zotero, HackerNews upvote and Github Likes. It's not yet optimized for smartphones. It cost me $5 to host it for a year.
